Cool! I'll watch anything with Liam Neeson in it, but I was putting this one off for some reason.

Just watched Insomnia, not a bad psychological thriller. Nothing ground breaking but certainly etertaining.

Actually, I think the cut away shots are worse than when they actually show it. There's this one scene in Friday the 13th IV where he's got this leather strap wrapped around a guys head and is twisting a tool in the back. They don't actually show anything, but I think I've only managed to sit through it one time, even though I can sit through the rest of the movies without any sensation other than relaxation the whole time.

As for the topic, The Crow, the effects are somewhat dated at this point, but it's still an awesome movie. Thankfully, they never bothered to make any more movies and especially never made a TV series.
This movie more than most of his movies proves that just because you're extremely crazy and anti-semitic that you can still make a really fun movie.

My favorite movies are not original :

Brazil, by Gilliam (basically anything by Gilliam)

Anything by Leone. The good the bad and the ugly, once upon a time in the west, and maybe above all once upon a time in america... Okay all the others too. You may cheat a bit and include Tonino Valerii's My name is nobody in it, as Leone participated enough in it, and yes, it is that good.

Dance of the Vampires by Polanski (basically anything by Polanski). It's a parody of vampire films yet, because of that, capture the essence and poetry of vampire mythology really perfectly, and manages to have a real suspense and be real creepy at times. Unlike comedic horror movies, that one doesn't alternate goofy sequences and scares, but more clevery mixes them in a continuous self-aware tongue-in-cheek genuine suspense. I adore that film. If you prefer humourless Polanski, watch The Tenant, adapted from a Roland Topor story. Surreal abstract horror that will steal your sleep for months.

Let's go for underdogs, let's promote less known jewels :

Fish Story, a magnificently clever japanese story about a meteor about to destroy earth and, in the deserted town, three people discussing in a music shop about a rock song that may or may not save the planet. It's a movie made of flash-backs, narrations, disjointed bits of biography, that only make sense and get articulated together near the end. It is a marvellous movie about humans. And it is hilarious, and each bit seems to belong to a different genre, and, well, it must be watched.

The Eclipse, by Conor McPherson. It's the best movie about ghosts (and hardly features any). And by ghosts, I mean the presence of the dead in our everyday life. The story is a simple tale of a literrary congress taking place in ireland, and a potential romantic relation developping there. But it's mostly the story of how to cope with death and mourning, and it's impressively subtle and delicate.

Also, I for one loved Vincento Natali's Cube. Take it as a standalone symbolic story, some sort of allegory, a simple little fairy tale.

The Beast of War is an awesome, gorgeous movie about a russian tank isolated in the Afghan campaign. Fantastic music, landscape, sense of isolation, and double perspective.

Das Boot is the best (or the only good ?) submarine movie. But okay, it's famous enough not to require much promotion.

Agora is a fantastic movie about religious fundamentalism. Cleverly set in a christian context to avoid essentializing association between fundamentalism and islam, yet it describes mecanisms similar to those that "Yasmina Khadra" denounces in his/her novels. It is a universal issue.

Bob Roberts is a splendid little fake documentary about the rise of a populist politician, through a team supposedly following his political campaign. This movie stays in mind.

Blood Simple is a Coen movie, and should be worshipped as such. It's a very moving little thriller about human miscommunication.

and of course, it may be easy to overlook Galaxy Quest and Without a Clue, but they are the sort of comedies where absolutely every line, scene, or split of second, is totally epic and makes, by its own, the whole movie worth watching.

I don't feel inclined to read all the pages in this thread, but +1 for mentioning 'My Name is Nobody'! I adore that film even to this day. Terrence Hill and Henry Fonda.... genius stuff... and Morricone's main theme is beautiful beyond words.

Not quite sure how a kid in the UK grew up watching a whole load of Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill movies, but I did.... happy memories :)

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a great example of how suggestion can be more effective than explicitly showing things. The movie is relatively non-violent for a horror film, even during that time. But many people remember it as one of the most graphic films they have ever seen, simply because it does such a good job of engaging your imagination in very sick ways. The meathook scene, for instance.
Have you ever seen 'Below'? It kinda fails as a horror movie, but has some really solid acting and does a good job of showing life on a Submarie (at least, as far as I can tell).
Really? I kinda wanted to see that, but figured it was going to be lame. Sounds like I should give it a go.

That's doubly interesting because the other movie based on the same serial killer also was a masterful use of cut away shots. That other movie being Psycho. Two very different movies both based on the same crimes.

A movie I recently saw but never had heard of Possession (1981), truly one of the best (and weirdest) films I've ever seen.
If you like movies from Tarkovsky or Bergman, you will probably like this.
Best just to watch this and read info about it later.

Yes. Also one of the coolest movie posters ever, at least the original one.

Well, let's be honest here, though... how many dozens of movies have there been based on (or at least partially on) Ed Gein?

I believe only 3 ones are based off of him sufficiently to really warrant it. The third being Silence of the Lambs.

There were a few technical inconsistencies/flaws/plot holes but overall a very good movie. I'd almost say that I enjoyed it but considering how dark and gritty it is I feel that would put me somewhere between a Nihilist and a Masochist. I will say it is one of the few movies where I see the predicament the charaters find themselves in and say to myself "if that were me I would ..." and the characters actually do what I'm thinking.

The last film I've seen:

Dangerous Beauty (Marshall Herskovitz, 1998)

You should definitely check it out. It's quite violent but I really don't mind that sort of thing. The plot is pretty straightforward - I don't want to reveal too much but I'll say that if you like survival movies you've gotta see it.

Yeah I agree, the flaws were there but they weren't too distracting and didn't ruin it. It was overall quite a good film considering the story that they wanted to tell and the way that they told it. Could they have done better? Probably in certain respects, but te way that they created the fear and suspense of the hunters vs. the hunted really kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I kinda collect submarine movies AND ghost movies. So yeah, there was little chances for me to miss that one...
